• I am sending my sincere condolences to Margaret’s family on the loss of their wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. I worked with Margaret at Assiniboine Credit Union in Charleswood seventeen years ago. Over the years I have thought of Margaret many times with very fond memories. I wish I had shared with her my appreciation of the special woman she was. Margaret was genuine, caring, kind, friendly and welcoming. She spoke often of her family and her love and commitment to them was evident. I would like to share a couple of memories I have of Margaret. I recall the smile on her face at work the day a gentleman in strange attire (rent-a-nerd) walked in asking for her and proceeded to wish her birthday greetings. This was a surprise from her family. Another memory is one day after work my car would not start and I needed to get home for my daughter’s 7th birthday party. Margaret told me to take her car so I would not be late. At that point we had only known each other for about 3 months but she trusted me with her car. I have never forgotten this and how Margaret was there for me and my family. I didn’t share this with her directly but I hope somehow she may know the respect I had for her all these years. - Posted by: Lorraine Desmarais (Co-worker at Assiniboine Credit Union) on: Sep 24, 2012

• I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Margaret's passing. Remember the good times and treasure them as they will help you to get through these tough days ahead. Aunt Margaret had an infectious laugh that I will never forget. May she rest in peace and be there waiting for us all when God calls us home. - Posted by: Angie Ziefflie () on: Sep 24, 2012

• I remember when Margaret came to work at our branch after working at the Winnipeg Square branch for some time. She was always so friendly and had a great rapport with the clients and her co-workers. She was always talking about her girls, Nicole and JJ. She was so proud when Faith was born, I know she just always wanted to spend as much time with her as she could. She was dedicated to her job and her family. I know when I left the credit union she had talked about "maybe just one more year" and then she would take time to help look after the little one. But I guess it wasn't time for her to leave her work life at that point. To Wayne and the girls, Margaret was a joy to work with and be around, she will be missed. My sincerest condolences. May you find the strength in the memories to move forward with your lives without her. - Posted by: Giselle Pieczonka Pagani (Former Co-Worker (Civic Credit Union)) on: Sep 24, 2012

• JJ & Family - we are so sorry for your loss and wish you lots of strength in these difficult times - Posted by: katty (friend) on: Sep 24, 2012

• Margaret and I were co-workers. I always loved Margaret; she was a kind, steady and competent presence on the teller line. Never one to dwell on her own struggles she was always empathetic and interested in the lives of everyone else in the branch. I will miss her presence at our lunches and get-togethers. She will leave a hole in our little circle that cannot be filled. My sympathy goes out to Wayne and to your family; I can only imagine what a huge loss this has been for you. Margaret was a very special lady. All my best - Posted by: Pam Harmer (Co-worker at Civic Credit Union) on: Sep 23, 2012

• Wayne gave Margaret a charm for her silver bracelet with "67" inscribed-the speed she was doing when he apprehended her. My first memory of her is when she was 7 or 8 months old she had full-blown whooping cough. I remember frightened parents carrying her outside,all purply and gasping,in frantic attempts to get her breathing back to normal. When we played "Store" we liked to have Margaret be the storekeeper because she called her customers "Bemadam"-and we loved hearing her say that word. Coming home from school one spring day we met water running across the road. This was a new development but we didn't see it as a danger. Shiela and I took a running jump and were over the water but Margaret being just in Grade One stepped into the water;THAT was when we learned that the culvert there had washed out and left a deep hole.We fished Margaret out and then had a half mile to get home It was one of those spring days with a strong icy wind-an awful day if one is soaked completely through.With us bigger sisters one each side we held her arms and helped her run home. Her clothes were well frozen by the time we reached the house.We could hear the ice rubbing and cracking on them. Our Dad said we did a great job -and we all felt proud. Margaret was the elegant one in our family-she often wore antique handsome jewellry; she always had a lovely home; and she took splendid care of her family. She reached out the siblings when we were going through tough times and we treasured her support. We are profoundly sorry to have lost her so soon. Rest well, dear sister-it was a life well lived. - Posted by: shirley woodward (sister) on: Sep 22, 2012

• Wayne's first Christmas gift to Margaret was a charm for her silver bracelet inscribed with the number 67-the speed she was doing when he clocked her. When we were little we loved playing store and we loved having her be the storekeeper because she always called us "Bemadam" -we thought that was cute and funny. My first memory of her was her having whooping cough during the winter when she'd be about 7 months old. She might have been considered too young for immunization-or maybe just hadn't been taken in for the shots. At any rate she coughed until she was purple and we had very frightened, worried parents who carried her for hours and hours and took her out into the cold night to try to stop the awful whooping-this went on for several days. - Posted by: Shirley Woodward (sister) on: Sep 22, 2012
